Witness the boundaries of fashion be rewritten in this new exhibition on display starting Friday, September 9, 2022.

ABOUT ANA LOWE

Ela é. [She is.] an affirmative statement declaring that the garment, and more importantly, the human wearing it simply is. We are. a European-infused lifestyle brand focused on the power of re-lived + re-loved clothing. We push boundaries of where fashion stops + art begins. We push boundaries where feminine traits start + stop within streetwear, menswear & society. All garments and artwork available are pre-loved and have been altered with care to encourage us all to live, love + wear responsibly.

“In this show, I am showcasing the art side of the brand - frame*able fashion. My exploration of fashion and art has guided me to passionately create wearable art and frame*able fashion, always seeking to push the expectations and boundaries of where fashion and art live.
All frames, fabrics and trims were sourced ethically - many have been in my care for up to 20 years, traveling between countries and building a home many times over with me. In each piece I have shown here, I have poured not just my time but my love and intention into - in hopes that you feel embraced and cared for when surrounded by even just one of them.” - Ana Lowe, Ela é. founder and artist Instagram: @elae.diferente , @ana.Lowe_ |
ABOUT KBOATENG
|
"As an Artist, I have always been drawn to black and white being my creative safe space because of my background in pencil art. As I grow in my craft, however, I have explored many avenues to push myself creatively and try new things. Earlier this year I did a collaboration fashion exhibition which changed my perspective on the art of fashion. This body of work is to showcase some colorful photographs I have created in the past and some new work as fine art pieces."
